A enraged father shaved his 16-year-old daughter’s head to teach her a lesson after she tormented a cancer-stricken teenager and took off her wig.
The guy said in a now-deleted Reddit post that his daughter got in trouble at school after making fun of a kid who had lost her hair due to cancer treatment.
As part of her bullying, she even pulled the girl’s wig off. Because the daughter expressed no contrition, the father reasoned that the only way to teach her a lesson would be to be much more direct.
- THE GIRLS DIDN’T GET ALONG IN THE PAST.
Yet, as the father pointed out, the daughter’s actions is not excused because she has “bad blood” with someone.
They were supposedly fighting because the daughter is dating the ex-boyfriend of the other girl, and they’d been feuding since.
“This is not how I’ve educated my daughter to behave others, and it absolutely appalled me to hear how she acted from her deputy principal,” he wrote.
- THE GIRL DID NOT APPEAR TO BELIEVE WHAT SHE’D DONE WAS WRONG.
In fact, she doubled down on her actions, claiming that the girl in issue deserved it. The father had had enough by this time.
- HE PROVIDED HIS DAUGHTER WITH TWO OPTIONS.
The dad was not about to let this issue go, so he gave the teen two options. One, she could get rid of whatever technological she owned – phone, computer, etc. – and he would never buy her anything else. Two, she may have her entire head shaved at the hairdresser.
Yeah, and she doesn’t receive a wig; she wears it to school till it grows back. She ultimately chose that alternative.
- THE TEEN’S MOTHER BELIEVES HIS FATHER WENT “WAY OVERBOARD.”
“Her mother went bananas at me stating it will make her the target of bullying (sort of the point, show her some compassion,” he wrote in the post.
Bear in mind that the father has exclusive custody of his kid because his ex-wife has “gone on with her new family,” which is why he did not consult with her.
- NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS THINK, THE DAD HAS NO REGRETS.
“I devised the punishment because I believed my daughter lacked empathy for the kid she bullied,” he explains.
“My daughter is aware of this, which is why her actions appalled me. That displayed a complete lack of empathy. I hoped that walking a mile in the other girl’s shoes and coming to school bald would teach her a lesson.”
